## Resource

Meta’s $2 billion AI acquisition, Manus, is officially being severed as part of China’s strict tech sovereignty demands — a first major compliance move that signals Beijing’s zero-tolerance stance on foreign control of advanced tech. With data access cut and internal systems blocked, Manus’ once-promising Chinese AI story now faces a steep reversal. Meanwhile, China’s tightening grip extends to travel bans for researchers and foreign investment hurdles, reshaping global AI dynamics. Despite the breakup, Manus continues launching new integrations — and investors like Benchmark and Tencent are already cashing out, cooperating with the unwinding of what was once a headline-grabbing deal.
